Cattle Egret continues and other stuff
Greenwood cemetery's loyal Cattle Egret after a morning close call with a red tailed hawk returned to its roots at the 4th Ave/ 34th St entrance.
Look for the bird on the lawn slope past the security check in booth. It was reported this afternoon
Meanwhile in Prospect, a Pine warbler gathering took place on the Peninsula " thumb" as this species peaks. Also reported for water lovers are Louisiana Waterthrush at the Rock Arch bridge in the Ravine and a calling Rusty Blackbird near the Upper Pool dog beach

Isabel Conte
For birders who knew her from the prospect walks, I'm passing word along that Isabel Conte passed away last Thursday , from complications of cancer.
She was a quiet type yet called the Brooklyn Bird Club her family. And that is a great honor for the club to have made someone's life...better and relevant
Rest in Peace , Isabel. 🌹🐦

A good Saturday birding opening season
Today felt like opening season in prospect park. I'm not talking baseball but rather the first good wave of anticipated birds.
During my walk celebrating my 50th, we succeeded finding the target species Golden crowned kinglet. They were in lots of places but concentrated along the back path of upper Pool. Here is where we found also Pine and Palm warbler, carolina wren and brown creepers. But the top bird was a reported Wilsons snipe that flushed from the back gate before we arrived. However it resurfaced at LilyPool at Binnen Bridge .
Enroute to the snipe, a suprise first; we were diverted by a quick flyby early Louisiana water thrush! But it was elusive and desiring getting the snipe we quicken the pace. However the water thrust spent later along the creek south of nethermead three arches bridge.
The snipe was a tough act but after closer search it was found hunkered under a limb. Some patience rewarded us when the snipe emerged ,feeding along the pool south side. A lifer for many in my group is satisfying. Also in lily pool were two gorgeous Rusty Blackbirds.
Kill deer among 100s of robins on the baseball fields could be classified a top hi light as well. Add yellow bellied sapsucker,Ring necked Duck and perched adult Cooper's Hawk among 51 species we all saw makes it a terrific Start to opening season for migration.
